Voice of reason, it's an expensive bag no doubt, if you absolutely love it figure out a way to afford it without stress! I have yet to be able to get myself to spend that much $$ on a single bag though my DH and I have great careers and no crazy expenses or debt, I own 5 Chanels among many more LV's, Balenciaga, Chloe etc....... honestly it's not worth putting yourself in a bad financial situation (or using money that's better spent on something else) by keeping it so for that you have to decide what is right for you. Again, it's stunning, had that one in my hands many times but the thrill of a new bag (for me at least) often wears off too quickly to stress about the purchase......
